Not yet, But this issue seems to be a known issue and has to do with the settings but I think I might try it.

Notification led works fine here. No issues whatsoever for last 3 days. It blinks for missed calls, sms, other notification on lockscreen, while charging, when battery is low (<15%), on playing media or changing media (pics/songs etc) playback. The led even changes its colour according to the pics being viewed or album art of the song being played, which feels quite awesome :victory:!
I have the international Xperia ZL black (C6502) currently running latest stock sony rom (build ver 10.1.A.1.434), not rooted & oem BL status (ie locked).

Yes it works for some people but it's a KNOWN SONY ISSUE! Even with the z.

By works, do you mean you are able to set custom LED notifications using light flow? Mine works while viewing pictures, listening to music, low batt and missed call. But there are no options to customize it.

By works I mean that It WORKS when I get MMS,SMS,Email, Missed call, Gmail and so on. Before Notifications would only work during battery low or battery charging which is a KNOWN issue with Sony at the moment for the Z and the ZL. But yes I use light flow to change the colours.

Wonderful! So you say you did a factory data reset? and uncheck 'allow google to back up this phone'?

Weird. Mine worked out of the box.

Auto-Brightness delay

Anyone experiencing any lag with the auto-brightness adjusting when you you turn on the screen? It's not all the time but sometimes my screen seems to stay pretty dim for awhile before adjusting.

Hello
I am a Sprint product ambassador I am experiencing the same issue. It happens occasionally and I wanted to let you know that I have sent the feedback to our device teams. Stay tuned. Thanks.
Auto brightness on this phone sucks big time. Its useless, either the screen is very bright or very dim. On my EVO lte auto brightness was kick ass. Its always gave me the right amount of brightness base on my light situation, while on this phone it only seems to have 2 settings.

Staying tuned as mine does this also. Its not a terrible issue but curious if there is a fix, thanks
As far as I know, there's no fix yet. But you may want to give Lux (workaround ) from market ago for now.

Have you noticed a significant battery drain with Lux? I'm assuming you need to disable the stock auto-brightness to use it right?

I was able to remove the icon in the settings.
Is there any way to remove the stock brightness slider from notifications? It's kind of pointless with Lux.

Gotcha. I haven't had any issues so far but I'll post in this thread if I do. I love this app! It's 10x better than the stock auto-brightness setting.

JB problems

Hey guys.
Today I update my Xperia S from Sony PC Companion, on JB 4.1.2. After an half hour of usage I noticed that there is no notification bar, then I noticed that there is no SmallApps, I can't change my lock screen wallpaper, and theme too, no sound on notifications, there is no also like it was on ICS: long press on home button will show your latest apps, now, nothing happen. Am I did something wrong, or it's that just by JB? If it is, I can tell that I'm truly disappointed.
so many changes from the leak, including not having main android features like long pressing home button and malfunctioning status bar defines that update was not successfully processed. try updating again

Hi works really well to turn on/off screen,but when you have it enabled for WiFi also it gets a bit confusing.when you swipe to unlock screen great,hold hand for 2 seconds great WiFi comes on but when you want to just turn off WiFi it turns off screen no matter and you need to swipe screen back on and turn off WiFi manually as it always turns off screen before you turn off wifi,not a complaint just an ob but a really great app
many thanks am using it to turn my screen on and off.
many thanks.

New update information
Hey guys I actually fixed a lot of stuff I did a lot of changes but some things are still delaying me from being able to release the new update.
Actually new update may be possible to be seen by the end of this week.
As long as I am working on it alone it is really hard for me and I am giving it, all the free time I have I spend a lot of nights on it.
So if you guys would be that kind please consider some small donation. I want to buy S4 to see how the things are going on it. Or an HTC One so I can test the app on powerful device and improve it more and faster. Or just buy me a coffee or a donut. Many thanks, many thanks.
I would really appreciate it and I'll give you credits in the OP
Note: If anyone made a donation, PM me. Thanks.
Tried this and its a great little feature, not sure how useful it is yet but the idea of it is great! Well done

[Q] auto brightness issue on screen

Do you guys notice that auto brightness still On even when its turn off, i mean when certain images on screen change, the brightness change a bit depending on how dark or light the image is... Has nothing to do with light around you.
Try browsing a vibrant picture then change to dark picture..
Anyone get this issue on your T2 ultra ??
How to fixed that ??

i dont know any fix but have you changed any thing in your phone
installed any conflicting brightness or some sort of keep device wake up kind of apps
last thing you can do is take a back up of your current states
then do a fresh install wipe every thing
that can solve your issue
coz from where i can see settings for sensor is messed up

Have you set everything else up? Permissions for battery for each app etc?
Some people say you have to uninstall it and not just disable it in the ADB.

After uninstalling PEM, some weird things are happening in the phone. Please see screenshots. Quick setting icons and notification inside settings are not visible. I can still touch them and they work, but not visible.
